Remembering a Bollywood icon
Dixit praised Dharmendra's versatility—saying he could nail action, comedy, or romance—and recalled his fondness for her song Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas Tum Rehti Ho.
She also highlighted his comic timing in Chupke Chupke's famous drunken scene.
The film industry is mourning his loss.
His final film releases soon
